Steve was known for his amazing sense of humor. He loved making his children laugh. He enjoyed seeing people smile and always has a comment to help encourage that. Steve loved fishing and spent most of his days at the pond with a pole. Notre Dame football was his passion. There wasn’t a Saturday you couldn’t hear Steve yelling at the TV. Steve LOVED his children. He would brag about them to anyone who listened.
